Yeah,

We got (probably) the same unsolicited shipment.

It's bad enough we have to deal with telemarketers, but I don't have enough hours in the day to deal with these unsolicited shipments. I also won't have the time to treat the d**ned thing as a gift.

Just what our days need: more junk mail.

Heads up! Thomson RIA is sending out unsolicited materials. We just
received a copy of a WG&L title with a cover letter by the author (I'm not
including the title as I'm not going to give them any free publicity). I
just spoke with "Fred in Customer Service" who tried to defend the shipment
("If you don't want the title you can just return it with the enclosed
shipping label."). I explained that unsolicited shipments are a violation
of US postal laws, but Fred was undeterred and declined to provide me with a
name and address to which I could send my "thank you for the gift" note, but
I'll send it to the company generally anyway. Beware!
